Uh-oh, you don't want to get this guy angry or ... he'll email Mitt Romney! Jon Huntsman got a round of applause during Sunday morning's New Hampshire debate when he said he's been criticized for putting his country first—a criticism leveled at him by Romney, who attacked Huntsman’s service to Obama as his ambassador to China. The Huntsman campaign, quick as a flash, emailed a response to Romney: “The fundamental difference in this campaign is Jon Huntsman puts country first, Mitt Romney puts politics first. Governor Romney’s evolution as a candidate is attributable to his desire to do whatever it takes to win an election and illustrates the cynical nature of politics.” Ouch!
